It's Over

You should be aware that we've been warned by some very credible individuals that due to our economic crisis it now declared that we are doomed to destruction. One of those individuals, Charlie Munger, who was Warren Buffet's longtime business partner, just came out and declared that "IT'S OVER". Our house of cards, the U.S. economy, that has been built upon a shaky economy is now ready to collapse and fall all around us. Wow - talk about depressing.
I guess we can just go on with our lives and go down with the ship like a bunch of rats on a sinking ship or may we can take a more assertive approach and just crawl into a corner somewhere with walls on both sides of you, get in the fetal position and sit back and wait for it to happen all around you. There is nothing you can do about it! Right?

Well, if we continue down the same path without making any changes in our lives in 2010, then we will be going down with the proverbial ship. But, if you want 2010 and the future to be different than the past and different than what the masses are experiencing at this time, take charge and do something different.

I refuse to be at the mercy of governments, economies or even natural disasters. I chose to do something to take control of my own destiny. I am not going to sit around and worry about whether or not it's the right thing. I am going into action and figure that something will come of it. So should you. So what if the house of cards is collapsing around us. There's too much history of people who have not only survived in similar economic and global crises but they have actually flourished. What do those of you who are in real estate tell your clients? I'll bet you are telling them, and rightly so, that there is a fire sale going on out there and now is the time when you take advantage of the market conditions. It's true isn't it?

Are you telling me that virtually everyone is going to suffer as a result of this economy? I do not think so. It's just a matter of taking control of your life and getting aggressive as a self-employed, entrepreneur who has nobody telling them what they are worth or what extras you have to do at work to get that promised promotion.
